Hit Play then LoL closes

Hello, the patcher seems to work just fine. I go to hit the big Play button and it just closes without opening up the pvp.net chat / launcher etc. It just closes after I hit play although I can still see LoLLauncher.exe*32 from the task manager but it's still not open on my screen. I've already tried the following and nothing has helped as of yet even reinstalled three times and repaired once. I'm running windows 7 with a brand new computer that I'm sure meets all the reqs, direct x, drivers everything updated.

Launcher Closes Without Warning / Does not open when clicked
1. Try running as an admin by right clicking on the executable and selecting "Run As" and "Administrator"
2. Try removing and http://support.leagueoflegends.com/entries/234257-pvp-net-and-adobe-air.
3. Make sure your http://support.leagueoflegends.com/entries/234288-windows-settings-troubleshooting are set properly.

Riot has no answer for this bro. Trust me, I've been waiting for a week to hear a solution for this exact problem from them and they have no answer for. I've tried everything the Wrenchmen said on all there threads and nothing comes out of it. I was patient for a week and now I'm sick of it. Now all I can do now is wait for the next patch and hopefully this is fix.

PvP Kernel not responding and also after I hit play on Run As Administrator nothing comes out after too.

I get a RADS error - Could not to connect to HTTP server / Patcher Kernel Stopped Working1. Close out your game/patcher, hit ctrl+alt+delete and make sure all instances of LoL.Launcher are gone, then restart the patcher process and let it sit.
2. Go to your Riot Games/RADS/System folder under your default install path, and run the rads_user_kernel.exe file, then try starting your patcher.
3. See this article, http://support.leagueoflegends.com/entries/234188-changing-to-public-dns-servers
4. Try connecting by using http://hotspotshield.com/
5. Try installing Microsoft Dot NET Framework 4.0, http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851

This really blows. I've spent about $100 on this game at this point and now I can't even use it.

I play on a mac and updated LOL to come to the same problem. It was working last night when i was playing with my friends. Anyone have a clue whats going on cuz it bugging me so bad that I can't play now. To push play button then widow closes come on. >.<
